Buying my first trailer!

And that's why we do it boys and girls!

Last year I spent about $4000 in repairs on my trailer. This year $70. I have put some labor in on top of this but that was just parts. Once they are right they seem perty cheep to keep around.

 

Feels darn good don't it I know it did when I paid my wagon off
Congratulations

 

You'll get there before you know it

 

I got no idea what you make but i would be very surprised if you couldn't do better with your own. But ya might have to give up that home every night thing.

 

Nightgunner,

What is your empty weight for truck and trailer ?

 

Wow, your truck is light. Your trailer should be around 11k to 12k lbs right ? All of my previous 48' combo trailers were in that range.

With my current 2011 midroof Cascadia, a combo trailer will put me above 32k empty. These newer emissioned trucks are really heavy and must be paired with all aluminium trailers to be able to haul 48k. This is the main reason why all the aluminium trailers are being sold like hotcakes while the combos are flooding the market at dirt low prices. If you have a pre-emission truck, this is the time to grab a combo trailer.
